Vice-Chancellor Professor Dame Julia Goodfellow features in the first Power List of the 40 most influential business people in Kent.
The list recognises the decision-makers, whose actions have a big impact across the county. It has been compiled by an independent panel of judges, including entrepreneurs, industry consultants, chairmen of influential bodies and representatives from the media industry.
To qualify, each member of the list must own or work for a business based in Kent. Deciding factors included the ability to create jobs, control large wealth and the number of everyday people who engage with their product.
Dame Julia’s citation highlights her forthcoming role as the first female president of Universities UK, where she will represent the country’s academic institutions in talks with the government on funding and policy.
Other influential business-leaders featured in the Kent Power List include: Jonathan Neame, Chief Executive of Shepherd Neame brewers; Paul Carter, Leader of Kent County Council; and Victoria Pomery, Director of the Turner Contemporary.
